?The Department of Justice has arrested two other alleged leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the most violent and powerful drug trafficking organizations in the world. Ismael Zambada García, or "El Mayo", co-founder of the Cartel, and Joaquín Guzmán López, son of his other co-founder, were arrested today in El Paso, Texas, said the Attorney General of the United States, Merrick B. Garland.
Through a brief statement, the prosecution highlighted that both men face multiple charges in the United States for leading the criminal operations of the Sinaloa Cartel, including its lethal fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking networks.
?The May? and Guzmán López join a growing list of leaders and associates of the Sinaloa Cartel whom the Department of Justice is holding accountable in the United States; Among them are the other co-founder of the cartel, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, or "El Chapo"; another of El Chapo's sons and alleged leader of the Cartel, Ovidio Guzmán López; and the alleged main hitman of the Cartel, Néstor Isidro Pérez Salas, or "El Nini."
"Fentanyl is the deadliest drug threat our country has ever faced, and the Department of Justice will not rest until every cartel leader, member and associate responsible for poisoning our communities is held accountable," Garland said.
